Synopsis
When Seymour Merriman stops at the side of the road outside Bordeaux, he did not know the adventure he was in for. The events that follow pull him into a world of mystery, smuggling, murder and love. As this complex classic unfolds, it follows two amateurs in their attempt to unlock the mystery of the pit prop syndicate, before the case is handed over to Inspector Willis of Scotland Yard, to chase down the scheme to its very end.

Review
‘Undeniably the greatest of detective story writers.’ ― Outlook
‘This early story by Freeman Wills Crofts has lost nothing in the passage of time: indeed, it seems almost better than ever . . . One of the classics of modern crime fiction.’ ― New York Times

He wrote over forty books over his career, many of them featuring his most famous character, Inspector French.
